I was out walking the dog this morning, and it was a grey, overcast, and slightly chilly morning. It was magical. It was moody and dark and exciting all at the same time. A morning like today’s reminds me why I love October. There is a clear shift in the seasons. More than September, October marks the real beginning of fall with its changing leaves, ghoulish ghosts, and chilly temps. To help us all transition into cozy nights by the indoor or outdoor fire, we are hosting an Evangeline Trunk Show from October 11 to 17.

Evangeline’s blankets, throws, and wraps are simply amazing. Maine’s topography, with all its rugged beauty, is the inspiration for each blanket. Founder Ben Ray and his family have gone to great lengths to bring the natural colors of their home state to life in textile form. Made of wool, alpaca, mohair, cashmere, or cotton, there is a blanket that fits every temperature and every budget. For the next week, you can save 20 percent on all in-stock and special-order Evangeline blankets, throws, and wraps. What better way to kick off the fall than with a cozy blanket from Maine?!
